I have a flvplayback component on my stage at the end of my presentation that plays a .flv with an external .xml file for captions (using the flvplaybackcaptioning component targeted to my flv player). When the video begins to play, the captions automatically appear over the video. Is there a way to make it so the video begins to play without the captions automatically turned on?
View 1 RepliesAn image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it. The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name, address, title, description, etc. Is there any way to access this information using AS3 so that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?
View 10 RepliesI have a quiz app. All data is in an xml file. Right now when the user starts the application he/she has to pick a chapter from a combobox and all questions for that chapter get loaded. What I'm trying to do is have only one chapter instead of multiple in my xml file and remove the combo box completely. So when the user starts the application the chapter gets loaded automatically. How can I have the quiz load automatically and not when the user selects the chapter from the combobox.

How do i do that? this is the code of the whole gallery:

I'm inexperienced with Flash. A client has insisted on a captioned flash video file and we're trying to figure that out using CS5. I've followed the steps outlined in the Adobe, but when I test the movie, I get no captions. I see an error in the output tab under the stage:

I am using the XML playlist tutorials to dynamically load my video s and link them through the playlist [URL]. Now, I would like to add captions, I have added the 'caption' attribute to my xml node, but cant seem to get it to work in AS2!!

I am using an flvplayback component and an flvplaybackcaption component to create a video with captions read from an external xml file. The captions from the xml are read into a dynamic text box just below the video player. I am using a default Flash skin with full screen and caption icons.Upon entering full screen mode, the captions default to play at the bottom of the video, just above the video controls - which is just what I want.
However, if I turn off captions in full screen mode, and then exit full screen mode, I no longer have control of captions when not in full screen mode. IE, I cannot get captions back on after exiting full screen mode, and the caption button in the skin becomes useless. If I re-enter full screen mode and enable captions, then when I exit full-screen mode, I have my normal usage of captions.
I've been using the "Reusable Preloader Using MovieClipLoader" from the tutorial section of this site.The only difference is that i don't use'm for preloading jpg. I load external swf files containing video. Everything works fine so far. The only problem is that the preloaded video already starts playing while preloading (at about 30%), but without showing the video.This is the code i have so far:

bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;

I'm tweaking the video code found here [URL] His progress bar starts at the edge of the stage. My progress bar starts at x=40 into the stage. My problem is that even though all my mcs related to the progress bar are positioned properly the scrubber mc hops to the edge of the screen when the video starts. It also acts as if the progress bar you scrub though is at the edge of the screen too. I can't figure out why it's doing this. There's nothing in the code to tell it to do as such.

I have a 10 second Intro video that I would like to play before each main video plays. The videos are streaming through FMS 3.5. At the moment I have to attach the intro to the start of the main videos and render out in Premiere Pro CS5 Ideally I would like to set it up so that the intro starts for the 10 seconds and then auto switches to the manin video. To show an example of what I need to do here is a link to an Archery site ( I also do archery as a hobby and noticed this)[URL] If you click on any of the 8 parts for either day 1 or Day two, you will notice a couple the 5 second intro screens and it then automatically goes back to 0 to start the main video.

- When I click a button on the mouse/keyboard, the video finishes the loop until the end and
- show a transition video and

How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].........
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.

I'm comfortable with PHP and Javascript but this is the first time I'm using flash. I have Flash CS5.
I've managed to import a movie file, however, as soon as it's downloaded it starts playing. I've tried using the Action stop(); coding, which works file in the export preview in CS5, but on a website it runs straight away.
I know I can't use the command because that stops the timeline but by then the video is already playing. My solution would be to use and have the video in frame 2, then get javascript to jump to frame 2 when I was ready. However, I can't find a way to import a video file to a frame in CS5. Is there a better way?
I am very new to Flash CS4, however I was able to create a preloader with help from a Dan Carr tutorial.Here is my source

The movie loads and plays but the preloader only loads part of the way. How would I go about having the preloader progress bar load all the way then have the movie start?

On a page with an embedded Flash video (from YouTube in an <iframe/>), is it possible to be notified through JavaScript when the user starts or stops playing a video?
As far as I know, events raised on Flash level are not propagated to the container page, so it is not possible to do that.
I got my video Netstream playing just the way I want it. When I rollOver a certain area, I start my video and when I rollOut I close it. My problem is that, when i've started it once and done a rollOut and afterwards do a rollOver again, I get a little glitch of sound whenever the video starts. It seems that I need to empty/flush my netstream? Looked at NetStream.Buffer.Flush, but not sure how to use it.

I am using the video component with AS3. I have an external flv which loads nicely...that's fine. Now I am looking for a way to remove a preloader animation once the video starts streaming. The preloader is just an animation without a status (percent) bar. In plain English the code would be: if flv file is streaming, fade preloader animation I am also noticing that the first frame of the video shows while it's loading...is there a way to change it so that nothing is seen until streaming? If worst comes to worst I can always make a mask.

now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).
I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback. I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large? Some vitals: I'm using Flash Pro CS5 - To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file) - Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file
I can't get my Flash video to *not* start downloading when I access my page.
The problem page is [url]..
There are six videos on this page. When I access it, all the videos start to download - the progress bar on all videos shows the downloading.
is there any function or method in actionscript that automatically get the specific video image. Like in youtube after the user upload the video. Youtube will get the the middle image of the video. Ex video length is 3 mins, the picture in 1:30 is the image it will get and put it as its thumbnail.

I'm having trouble going cross platform with all the browsers and video formats, so I thought it would be easier to convert the video to FLV and post it to the site. I do believe this is possible.
